Description

The first aviation weather app for Android Wear (for U.S. airports only for now)!

Use your voice to request METAR and TAF for a particular airport, city or nearest airport (U.S. only currently).

Usage instructions:

On an active watchface, say "ok Google, start Airport Weather". Alternatively you can use one of the available launchers to launch Airport Weather application on your Wear device (not the handheld!) or choose Airport Weather from the start or recents menu.

It will launch the app and display the main menu.

You can choose between Search, Nearest, manually input ICAO or domestic code or 5 most recent successful searches.

If you choose "Search", you can then say the airport name (e.g. "Palomar Airport") or city name (e.g. "San Diego").
"Nearest" option will display weather for the closest airport within 25 miles.

The result will come back as an actionable notification with current color-coded flight rules (VFR, IFR, etc) if a single airport was found or the worst flight rules if multiple airports were found.

You can then click on the notification to see the full decoded weather card. If several airports are found, you can scroll the cards vertically.

If you swipe left (scroll to the right) on a METAR card, it will show you decoded TAF for that airport if available, or nearest TAF within 25nm from that airport. All standard US TAF features are supported, excluding parameters specific to military airports. However, it does handle military TAFs properly (converts kilometers to statute miles, etc).

Please be prepared to wait up to a minute if your search was too broad.

Tested on LG G Watch, moto360 and LG G Watch R.

Latest updates

What's new in version 1.3.3

This bugfix release fixes a bug with a button cut off in ICAO selector layout on Moto360. Please let me know if you still have any issues.

New feature - input ICAO code using dials on the screen!

If you know the ICAO (e.g. KCRQ) or domestic non-ICAO (3-letter/digit - e.g. F70) identifier of your airport, you can punch it in situations where you don't want to talk to your watch in public or when the search doesn't properly recognize your voice.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★If it includes more airports,like RJAA ZBAA, i will change it to a 5 star.
5 ★I use it often when I want a quick weather report. The voice search works much better then others I've used, and can recognize the airport name with surprising accuracy.
3 ★It doesn't work with Android Wear 2.0 on Moto 360 Gen 2. :(
5 ★Simple app, works good. Could be better if you could add TAFs. Using Sony Smartwatch 3.
5 ★Works great on my Moto 360!
5 ★Great app. Easy to read format.Well designed interface. I like the dial in entry method.
5 ★New version is nice
5 ★I had originally reviewed that it did not work on the Moto 360. That is because ESO(Equipment Superior to Operator). All I had to do was re-sync my Moto 360 to my Nexus 5 and it worked flawlessly. Thanks Eugene!
5 ★So awesome! Thank you for bringing this to Wear!
5 ★If there was radar integrated I would give it 6 stars 😀
5 ★I contacted the dev when it was not working on the Moto 360 due to the round screen and within 18 hours he had an update available that fixed it. Awesome and thank you! Great, quick, easy interface and easy on the eyes. Nice job!
5 ★Works great on my LG Watch. Very helpful for quick weather updates even when not in the Airplane. Gotta understand Metar Information of course.
